Sewing in batches
The sewing here has been progressing in a factory-like manner. I find it so much more efficient to sew multiples, so I have a bunch of garments going on at once right now. I am grouping them by serger thread color, as well as by task.
So that means I haven't really finished anything, but I have about 9 halfway done things. I have 5 zippers to put in, and it's more of a hassle to put on the invisible zipper foot than to change the thread color, so I plan to do all the zips at once. All my other presser feet are snap-on, but the invisible zipper foot needs to be screwed on. Drives me nuts.
There's something so pleasant about doing cheerful, simple, useful sewing. It sounds dismissive to call it mindless, but I do tend to daydream a bit. It doesn't require much concentration to sew kid pants. Of course I love the puzzles and challenges too, but I have to mix it up sometimes.
